Jackie talks with friend Mari Pablo about her journey in ministry, why Easter needs to be celebrated for more than one day, and having a relationship with Jesus.

Mari Pablo is a proud Hispanic and cradle Catholic whose life was wrecked in the best possible way when she finally decided to stop fighting and surrender it all to Him. She holds bachelor's degrees in theology and psychology from Franciscan University of Steubenville, as well as a master’s degree in theology from the Augustine Institute. Mari has worked in youth ministry for over fifteen years, both as a youth minister and as a Catholic high school theology teacher. She is currently serving parishes and universities across the country with The Evangelical Catholic. Mari is well known for her dynamic presentations at the annual Steubenville Youth Conferences and other national outlets.

Mari is a presenter in several Ascension Press programs including YOU- Theology of the Body for teens, Chosen, Ascension Presents and Connected- Catholic Social Teaching for this generation. Her mission is simple, to encourage others to refuse to settle for the things of this world, but rather to strive for more, to strive for Him.
